The demise of the FS pension for new BA recruits is not unexpected - the company has consitently tried to erode the conditions of service and salary for many years. There is no doubt that the APS which came before NAPS was superior, and that is why its members fought hard to stay separate, having a fully funded sceme which they did not wish to give away. This may seem greedy, but think of it this way - if your neighbour has a larger house than you, do you expect him to give you one of his bedrooms or half his garage?
I don't think BALPA gave the fighting fund anything, M.Mouse - definitely not the £100,000 you claim - I remember at the time giving Mike Post's group £40, but BALPA were neutral as they represented both NAPS and APS people - quite right too.
